So I have some dates and info on some of the classes I will be teaching at my local Michaels ( Dartmouth, Nova Scotia )
There is an open house on Saturday September 10, 1-3. You can see samples of some of the classes that are taught at Michaels and meet the instructors.

Operation Christmas Cards Class
Tuesday September 20
6:30 pm to 8:30 pm
This is for the troops. Make 8 Christmas Cards. 4 you keep. The other 4 you donate to the troops.
We will be learning basic stamping techniques for images and sentiments.

In October my Scrapbook Design and You class starts. There will be a Martha Stewart glitter class, as well as the Operation Christmas Cards class and the Kids' Srapbook Frame Friends class. I will post the dates later in the month.

Cut out the desired amount of petals you want, the size you want. I for the one big flower 22 petals @ 1" and 32 petals @ 1.5". The leaf stems I got from Craft Edge Forum ( I can't remember who sorry ) and I used a snowflake from the basic shapes on Scal2. I inked all the edges.

Shape petals.

Cut a 1" styrofoam ball in half and form into a smaller ball ( I used what size I had on hand ) and start gluing the smaller petals around it.

Here are some pictures of the notebooks/journals I made for gifts. I kept them simple. In side there is a pocket to put papers etc. in and the other side is for a removable note pad so it can be replace with a new one.

I have great news. At my local Michaels (part-time job) we do not have a Scrapbooking Instructor. I thought it would be fun, so I took the course Spottedcanary School and passed. :):) In about two weeks I will receive my certificate. I can't wait. So for the next couple of months I will be busy setting it all up. Wish me luck. I will let you know when and where and what time the classes will be.
